Guest Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Importing simple Word documents (just text) seems to work. But I've tried to import (drag & drop) a Word document with tables, images, etc. Then Publisher crashes. I add a sample Word document as an attachment. Drag & drop it on a page and see the crash. 01 - Entwurf - AFG und Heißgetränke.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 It doesn't crash on Windows, but it doesn't import well. I think it's because it's mostly tables. It gives me a Text Frame with the overflow indicator, but doing a shift+click on it doesn't properly reflow into new pages. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted June 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 3, 2019 Have you tried this on the latest build? I can't replicate any crashes, and the file seems to import fairly well for me (better on Windows due to the font substitutions). I did notice an issue on Mac when examining the tables that are imported however, which I've logged. Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2019 We believe the issue found from this thread ("Crash when examining DocX file on Mac") has been fixed in the latest Affinity Publisher beta and should not occur in the initial release of Affinity Publisher next week.
